Big Brother Houseguests came together this past weekend to attend the wedding of BB15’s Aaryn Gries complete with plenty of pics by bridesmaid GinaMarie Zimmerman and BBCAN’s Liza Stinton who made the long trip for some fun with the extended Big Brother family.

The wedding was held in Montgomery, Texas and included invited guests Jeremy McGuire and Spencer Clawson. There didn’t seem to be an appearance by the third leg of the girls’ trio, Kaitlin Barnaby.

This time around we saw Nicole Franzel, Donny Thompson, Hayden Voss, and BB15’s Aaryn Gries travel to Richmond, VA for the “Walkers 5K” over the weekend. The event benefited Toby’s Dream Foundation and RIR Cares. Attendees were out for a run, jog, walk 5K with two goals: get to the end and survive the zombies!

Haycole, Donny, and Aaryn all appear to have emerged safely on the other side where they were joined by a Hantz brother, but not the one tossed out for throwing pork rinds at Janelle. (You do NOT throw pork rinds at Janelle! No.) Yep, there’s ol’ Russell Hantz getting cozy with Nicole and making friends with the HGs.

We might not have been able to make it out to the event, but luckily they were sharing a lot of great photos from this weekend. I’m liking Donny’s strategy of wearing camo to blend in and avoid zombie-infested trails. That’s his secret agent / surgeon mind fast at work there! Take a look below:

Aaryn posted pictures to her Instagram account this weekend showing her and her date getting ready and attending the big event, the Marine Ball. No details on who the new boyfriend is, but Aaryn told her Twitter followers that her life is her own and not a movie. Sounds like she may not be sharing more than pics.

Check out these pictures of Aaryn Gries attending the Marine Ball this past weekend.

Gries has continued to deny malice in her comments that garnered national headlines during her stay in Big Brother 15. While we’ve seen a lot of other HGs grouping up since the end of the season Aaryn seems to be more on her own. Probably a smart move by the other HGs.

Aaryn Gries became the fourth member of the Big Brother 15 Jury last night when she was evicted in a 5-0 vote. Following her eviction Aaryn sat with Big Brother host Julie Chen for the customary interview, but the interview was anything but ordinary.

Confronted by statements Aaryn made in the house, Aaryn denied remembering those things being said or that any of it was said with malice or ill intent. When Julie asked how she would respond to accusations of racism Aaryn had this to say:

“Being Southern, it’s a stereotype. I have said somethings that have been taken completely out of context and wrong and I do not mean to ever come off racist and that’s not me and I apologize to anyone that I’ve offended for that.”

When offered a chance for her final thoughts Aaryn blamed the situation on a misunderstanding of cultural differences:

“I honestly, I feel horrible. I feel like in Texas, we say things that are sometimes we joke and don’t mean it. I really feel bad that this is how it’s being seen and how I’ve come across to people.

I don’t want to seem like that person. I really do respect everyone in this game although we’ve had some really hard times because we’re fighting for our lives in this game.”

Julie closes by telling Aaryn that she hopes she’ll find a new perspective on things once she goes home and sees the footage for herself.

In online comments we reviewed some viewers felt Julie Chen and the studio audience went too far while others were glad CBS and Julie took the time to address the issue. How do you feel about Aaryn’s exit interview and the things that were said?

Aaryn is now headed to the Jury house and will have no additional interviews until after the season finale next month. She will not be aware of the real world results of her actions such as losing her modeling contract until after the show has ended.

If you missed the interview on last night’s Big Brother or want to see it again then watch the video below. Note that CBS isn’t pulling any punches per the official video’s title.

A few days ago Amanda told McCrae that Aaryn told her she was planning to make a move for Judd and secure him for herself. I thought there had to be some sort of confusion there. Aaryn and Judd? Huh? What’s going on here with Big Brother?

The conversation focused on Aaryn & Judd worrying about McCranda being on to them before Judd says he’s going to let Aaryn go to bed. Judd rolls over to offer a quick hug. Aaryn brings her arm across him and holds it there. As Judd stars to roll back he realizes she’s still holding on and then rolls back to her hug.

Aaryn starts to giggle. Judd says, “I want to sleep up here.” Aaryn replies, “I want you to sleep up here.” Judd tells her he wants her to sleep up here if he gets HoH. Aaryn asks about Jessie. Judd says she can sleep up there the first night, but after he nominates her she won’t be up there anymore. Aaryn laughs and puts her hand back on his arm.

So yeah, that’s apparently going to be something to watch for here. Aaryn told Amanda she wanted Judd for her own and now it looks like she might try to make that happen.

My first impression is this is purely a game move by Aaryn, but it could also be a catty move against Jessie or simply a “every guy should want me, not someone else” issue.

What do you think is going on with Aaryn and Judd? Will something develop between the two of them or is it all bogus and just game play?

While Aaryn Gries continues to deny her racist behavior inside the Big Brother 15 house her family outside of it is taking steps to “spin” her deplorable personality.

The LA Times reports Aaryn’s mother has hired a publicist to stymie the damage she continues to create on a regular basis. Aaryn doesn’t know it, but she has lost her contract with her Texas based modeling agency, another contract as a covergirl, and students at her school have pushed to have her ejected.

But when she exits the house, she will apparently get some help with “spin control” to deal with the potenial public fallout from her controversial comments.

Sources for the series said the mother of Gries, who lives in San Angelo, Texas, has already hired a publicist for the 22-year-old college student, making Gries perhaps the first contestant in “Big Brother” history to get representation while still living in the house.

Of course if you ask Aaryn, she’d probably tell you that’s “most obnoxious, annoying thing she’s ever heard” because she truly seems to believe she hasn’t done a thing.

I thought read elsewhere that Aaryn’s father refused to comment except to say she’d have to speak for herself, so there may be some division in the Gries household on how to handle Aaryn’s general failure in joining society.

Do you think there’s any hope of redemption for Aaryn after her well-documented and repeated behavior in Big Brother 15? Or should they consider a priest instead?

In a smart move to protect their own integrity, CBS decided to reveal the questionable behavior that’s been going on among some of the Big Brother 15 houseguests. Let’s just hope this is the last we have to see it, hear about, write about it and talk about it.

I don’t know about you guys, but I’m kind of tired and disgusted with the big black cloud it’s all cast over this season. So let’s enjoy the show we all love for all the right reasons.

This Sunday’s episode picked up during this week’s Head of Household competition. As we already knew, they were working in pairs and the winning team must pick which of them is the new Head of Household.

The pairs were Jessie and Howard, Andy and Elissa, Jeremy and Aaryn, Nick and Judd, Candice and GinaMarie, Helen and Spencer, and Katilin and Amanda.

And then we briefly cut back to the David blindside. Aaryn is crying. Elisa is thanking America for the MVP. And GinaMarie and Jessie are confused. Everyone else knew what was going down.

Back to the HOH contest. It’s down between Aaryn and Jeremy and Elissa and Andy. In the end, Jeremy and Aaryn win. Jeremy gives the actual title to Aaryn. The Moving Company isn’t thrilled. Arryn has to immediately name have-not. So she acts “raise your hands if you voted out David.” She picks Elissa, Helen, Candice and Andy.

During the aftermath of David’s eviction, we get Aaryn counting votes and deciding to dedicate her HOH to what was done wrong to David. We learn that Spencer got Candice to vote for Elissa to be evicted so he could use that vote as his own when telling Aaryn and others how he voted. He really voted for David, of course.

Andy does the best job of anyone with covering his tracks for voting out David. He cries to Aaryn and earns her respect and just like that gets off her nomination radar. “I’m keeping my friends close and my Aaryns closer,” he said.

And then we get CBS’ surprising move: a racism montage. CBS and/or the producers decided to air all of the things that Aaryn and some of what GinaMarie has said about Andy, Candice and Helen. I don’t need to repeat them again here, but if you want to check it out, you can see a replay of the segment here.

Enough of that. Let’s get to for some good game play. We get a glimpse of Candice and Helen slowly figuring out there’s a guy alliance in the house. But like every other season they don’t really do anything with the possible information they’ve uncovered. “I wonder if it’s like a boy super group,” Candice asks. YES! Now run with it, Candice!

Speaking of gameplay, Helen realizes she could be a target for Aaryn, so she decides to have a talk with Aaryn. She lays out ways that they can help each other. And it’s a sweet idea for Aaryn, but as she said earlier, she’s playing this week for revenge on David. So she doesn’t take Helen’s offer very far.

Helen might just have hope yet because Spencer is working to get Amanda up and out because of her controlling McCrae, who is a part of his Moving Company alliance. So Jeremy takes that information to Aaryn and tells her that Amanda is the mastermind behind David’s eviction.

But to no one’s surprise, Aaryn plays it personally and nominates Elissa and Helen for eviction.

What do you think of Aaryn’s nominations and CBS’ decision to air the controversial things that have been going on in the house?

Houseguests’ comments have included Aaryn saying Helen Kim should “shut up and go make her some rice” and for other HGs to “be careful what you say in the dark, you might not see the bitch” regarding Candice Stewart. GinaMarie Zimmerman has described welfare as “n****r insurance” and suggested hitting Helen in the head to make her eyes straight. David Girton, Aaryn’s on/off in-house boyfriend, told Aaryn his bed sheets smelled because of “black Candice.”

Meanwhile, HGs have called Andy Herren several homophobic slurs to his face, claiming the comments to be jokes. Amanda Zuckerman called Andy “F*ggoty Ann” with Spencer Clawson referring him to as “Kermit the F*g. Aaryn also referred to Andy as “queer” and feared America would vote to support him as they “love the queers.”

Zephyr Talent, a modeling agency based out of Austin, Texas, announced late last night that Aaryn was being released from her contract with the agency in a step to distance themselves from her vile behavior. They released this statement via Facebook:

Aaryn, season 15 cast member of Big Brother, revealed prejudices and other beliefs that we (Zephyr Talent) do not condone. We certainly find the statements made by Aaryn on the live Internet feed to be offensive.

Any views or opinions expressed in personal commentary by Aaryn, either on any live feed from the House or during the broadcast, are hers alone and do not represent the views or opinions of Zephyr Talent. Upon much consideration, we have decided to release Aaryn from her contract with Zephyr Talent.

Gries appears unaware of the depth or consequences of her actions as she expressed concern on Monday of letting down her fellow Texans by allowing unflattering images of her to be captured from the Live Feed views. She made no mention at that time of worry over her disparaging and hurtful remarks.

CBS has said they found Aaryn’s comments “offensive” but we believe it is unlikely they will take action against the cast member based on similar past season events.

You can watch all of these events from the uncensored Big Brother video feeds using CBS’ Archives “flashback” feature on the Live Feeds. Get a free trial of the video service to see what other fans are watching and reporting.

Update: Aaryn has lost a second modeling job. This time with Bella Petite.
